Square Enix Confirms Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster Limited Edition

[Marak Daga]

So im playing it atm on pcsx2 (i do own the disks and have my own rom exported from my ps2) - i have the game on x16 MSAA at the moment and honestly - im not seeing a difference in the video compared to what im playing atm.

why again should i buy this?

Damn you SE. I said you would never agin get money out of me using Final Fantasy (due to me hating everything after X) but that looks so much better than when I use my ps2. You win. I will get it.

Edit: Or I would get it if it were available for preorder in uk. But it is not. So now I both love and hate you. Damned SE!

You can import it you know. PS3 games are not region locked, Persona 4 Golden was the only one to my knowledge, so you'd be able to get it still.

James Arnold Taylor is definitely not the strong point. When asked for distraught, he came up with whiny. But the rest of the cast does a good job, even if John DiMaggio needs to lay off the fake Hawaiian accent.

I have to agree, although I'm still more used to Taylor playing Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank and would hear Ratchet's voice whenever Tidus would open his mouth. John DiMaggio I though did a pretty good job at portraying Wakka though.
My favorite though was probably Matt McKenzie, although I think that's bias on my part since I loved Auron as a character more than Tidus.

Ugh, just remake a good Final Fantasy game. They love to pole jock the developers responsible for this game (the same people who did FFXIII and it's sequels). Final Fantasy XII isn't getting any love, there was an international version that never came out in America, and I would pay full price for that game again. So much better than X in every way. More interesting combat, the License board is way better than the whole grid sphere thing they used in X and the story was far superior. Ok, now I'm pole jocking on FFXII, I'm sorry... I'll stop.

I know I can import it but that will up the cost and I am not flushed with cash right now.

I am firmly in the 'if you like what I don't like then good for you' camp and I always try not to mock anyone who likes something I don't. That being said as someone who hated all of XII (with the exception of the graphics) I have to ask. Did you really enjoy the story? because I could not stop think about Return of the Jedi the entire time I was playing. Especially everytime not Han Solo (I think his name is Balthier) opened his mouth.

Some sites like Play Asia usually allow you to preorder them for cheap at times, but makes sense.
Also, little extra is that I loved 12 and this is from someone who has played every FF numbered game. Mainly though the International version fixed a lot of the problems the regular version of XII had and so I play that version now.

I honestly loved everything about that game. I thought the story was much better to be honest, if for no other reason they didn't go out of their way to confuse the player. It was pretty strait forward political intrigue for most of the game. Though, to be honest, my favorite part of the game had to be the battle system. I was replaying FFIX recently, and I think I'm just about done with random battles, it's infuriating. Also, the voice work was very good, the scripting was excellent and I thought the characters were very interesting and varied. The world was a lot more varied as well, it was fun to explore, and explore you could, in spades. But, I also know that is my opinion and clearly different people are going to have different ideas. I am not hating, I may get this game. I sometimes come off as a bit dramatic or overly negative about this game, I just think this game was no extraordinary or different at all, but it's treated like the second coming of the JRPG.

*SPOILER ALERT*
A friend let me borrow 12 a while ago and I like some of the characters and the License board is good too but it is meant to be a fantasy game and the story is based on politics. I guess if you like politics it's a game for you. I've had the game for about a year and have barely started on it. 10 was the first FF game I ever played so naturally it is my favorite and I agree that the random battles are irritating at times. Personally I like the battles from 13 but I'll never get over 10s turn based battles where it was more strategy rather than spamming X. I also thought the character development in 10 was incredible but I didn't play enough of 12 so I'm not sure about it. The only bit of 10 that confused me when I first got the game was Tidus. When they tried to explain that he would disappear I never understood why but I've played the game so many times now I understand but I thought that is just 'cause I got older. Sorry if I offended anyone but that's just what I think. ^.^"

Nah man, it's cool. The thing that really pushed me over the edge on 12 was when I played it on an emulator. They released an "International Zodiac System" version. This was a second release that was never released in America. It added a job systems. Basically, you would choose a job (class) for your main character, and it would overlay the license board with a blocks that would make you unable to choose abilities outside that job/class. Everyone had a distinct job/class and everyone developed differently. In the vanilla FFXII, your characters could end up really homogenized because everyone could get white magic and green magic and use the strongest weapons. If you get a chance to check it out, you should.
